ALF therapy and its role in improving sinus health and reducing infections

Chronic sinus pressure, congestion and recurring infections are often treated as isolated ENT problems. But the root cause may be linked to how the upper jaw, palate and airway develop. When the midface is narrow or the palate sits too high, it can crowd the nasal passages, limit airflow and make it harder for the sinuses to drain properly. 

The result is stagnation, inflammation and repeated bouts of discomfort. But you won’t know if your sinus problems are structural until you’re evaluated by a professional.

At Glossodontics®, we see the airway as central to overall health – not just a passage for air, but a system that influences oxygenation, immune response and sleep quality. When the airway is open and balanced, the body can heal more efficiently.

One technique we use is called ALF therapy (Advanced Lightwire Functional). ALF offers a gentle, whole-body way to correct underlying craniofacial imbalances. Instead of forcing teeth into alignment, the ALF system works with natural growth patterns to expand and stabilize the upper arch. As the palate widens and the maxilla repositions, the nasal cavity gains more space and better drainage pathways. Improved craniofacial balance supports easier breathing and less sinus congestion over time.

Many patients who undergo ALF therapy report fewer sinus infections, clearer breathing and less facial pressure.

Because ALF works through light, continuous forces, it also helps restore harmony across the cranial and facial bones. This gentle stimulation encourages proper lymphatic flow and fluid movement, both of which are key to sinus resilience.

Sinus health begins with structure. By improving the architecture of the face and airway, ALF therapy helps the body do what it’s designed to do – breathe, filter and heal naturally. If you, your partner or child suffers from chronic sinus issues, contact our team for a personal consultation.
